'Why is there no 'settings'icon in con definitions
Such a popular icon as a gear wheel. Why isn't it in KivyMD? That is for example:
MDIconButton:
icon: 'settings'
Instead of an icon, it's just a white square. If you enter setting,tuning, gear, the result is the same. What's the matter?
Solution 1:[1]
Try using "cog". I don't know what it means but apparently that's the settings icon.
Solution 2:[2]
Looks like there are about 6300 icons to choose from, so that list is too long to post here.
Two ways I've found to get the right names are:
- You can
ctrl-fthrough this github link.
Or
- Download KivyMD
- Run the 'Kitchen Sink' demo
- Scroll down and click on 'MD Icons'
- Search for icon name by using the search bar
The second option allows you to search visually.
In the strict sense, a "cog" is a tooth on a wheel. A cogwheel is any wheel with teeth. A gear is a cogwheel used mesh with another cogwheel. And a sprocket is a cogwheel that links to another cogwheel by means of a chain.
I am not sure why the developers chose to create a Material Theme based off of Google and then rename Google's icons.

Icon for gear icon in kivymd is "cog-outline"
